This week on The Gralien Report, we kick off the program with a story that sounds very much like a chapter from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, only further south… where a truck driver spent his Saturday tearing into through a portion of Peru’s Nazca Lines. Also, recent evidence suggests there was a massive fire that scorched much of the Earth 12,900 years ago, roughly coinciding with a mini-ice age called the Younger Dryas. We discuss this, as well as concerning news about the eventuality of a

This week on The Gralien Report, we kick things off with a remembrance of the Challenger disaster, which occurred on January 29th, 1986; we also look at items in the news that include the strange “battle” that has erupted over the body of Charles Manson. Moving over to science, why does the Golden Ratio appear so prevalently in nature, and what have scientists over the ages had to say about it? We examine this mystery, and weigh the idea that nature is “lazy”, as espoused by some s

This week on The Gralien Report, we are joined by Danny Robins, host of the Haunted podcast, which looks at real-life cases of hauntings. Danny has done a fine job producing an inquisitive and deeply investigative series, which looks at hauntings in an objective manner, asking questions like, “Do ghosts exist? And if not, why do we see them?” How can we reconcile the paradigms of belief and skepticism, when it comes to traditional belief i

This week on The Gralien Report, we kick off the program on this Martin Luther King Jr. day remembering the civil rights leader, before moving into news of astronomical oddities, and strange sounds that are being reported throughout the southeastern United States. We also spend a moment looking at the latest (supposed) lead in the never-ending conspiracy of D.B. Cooper, before turning our attention to strange things that have been brought before judges in courtrooms… how do you get legal help if you&

This week on The Gralien Report, producer Race Hobbs rejoins us for his first show of 2018, as we kick things off with the discussion of UFOs, as it relates to science and government. We also continue to examine thoughts from prominent members of the scientific community on the subject, and in particular, “Physicist of the Impossible” Michio Kaku, who believes some UFOs could indicate technologies that imply there are as-yet-undiscovered laws of physics. How likely is this, or is the subject v

This week on The Gralien Report, we’re happy to kick off 2018 as Micah reflects on the long-awaited sequel to the Philip K. Dick-inspired Blade Runner, in which themes of artificial intelligence and avatars are paired alongside stunning visuals in a bleak future setting. However, as Hollywood special effects continue to improve and advance the way we view cinema, will films like Blade Runner 2049 continue to become more accurate portrayals of the actual future of humanity than science fiction could

Another year is winding down, and as we look back on 2017, we take time to revisit some of the great discoveries of the last twelve months. But first, in the way of New Year’s traditions, did you know that some superstitions hold that you should never feast on any creature that crawls backward on the New Year? This and other odd traditions are outlined, before turning our attention to the continuing interest in the Pentagon’s secret UFO program, as discussed on last week’s program. Specifi

This week on The Gralien Report, it’s Christmas time (in addition to being a heck of a week for UFO enthusiasts). As we delve into the latest updates on space and science news, we also spend a bit of time looking at the most unusual (and blood-curdling) Christmas traditions, which include mountain trolls, evil entities, and the Sasquatch-like helper of Santa known as “Krampus.” We also revisit one of Micah’s favorite creepy Christmas tales, which involves eerie predictions made abo

This week on The Gralien Report, as we return from our recent sojourn from the frost-ridden Appalachians, Team Gralien is excited to be discussing new developments in the search for extraterrestrial life. For instance, the bizarre, needle-shaped “Oumuamua” object that recently entered our Solar System has caught the attention of SETI researchers, for a number of features that could indicate it’s more than just a hunk of space debris. Elsewhere, NASA is being tight-lipped about a new upco

This week on The Gralien Report, we kick things off with the latest news in the world of paleontology, which includes the realization that science had been wrong about Archaeopteryx, the earliest birdlike dinosaur, for more than 160 years. Elsewhere, we look at the discussion — and dismissal — pertaining to the 2017 Super Moon, and how astrology, pseudoscience, and ancient celestial mysteries relate to this subject. Finally, are humans all descended from deep-sea sponges?

Elsewhere, we fe
